Problem
When solid potassium chloride is added to water and completely dissolves, which new primary interaction is established between the dissolved species and water molecules?
(a) Ion–induced-dipole forces between K+ ions and water molecules
(b) Hydrogen-bond interactions between Cl− ions and the hydrogen atoms of water molecules
(c) Ion–dipole attractions between K+ or Cl− ions and the polar water molecules
(d) Dipole–dipole attractions between water molecules and the dissolved ions
